The BBA Program Office is committed to helping students graduate on time. The graduating senior petition form will ensure that graduating seniors are able to register for business courses they need to fulfill their major degree requirements. This process is not intended to replace the normal registration procedures and students are expected to attempt to register during their registration periods and use the waitlists/add-drops.

Please be aware of situations in which we will not be able to assist you:

• Using this form to switch times/instructors for a course you already have.
• Using this form for assistance in registering for non-business courses. You will have to contact the department/college for any course registration questions. This form is for business courses only.
• Dropping a course and using this form to try and get a different section of the same course. We will verify your attempts to register for the course and will not assist you in attempting to register for particular sections/instructors.
• Using this form if you’re not graduating in the same semester you’re attempting to register. Your assigned advisor must verify that you’ve completed all degree requirements.
• Using this form if you are not a business student. Non-business students attempting to register for business courses need to submit verification from their advisor stating that the course is needed to graduate.

Spring 2025 petitions will be open Monday, November 11 – Wednesday, January 8.

Students outside McCombs can register for a list of approved courses from the McCombs curriculum on a space-available basis at specific times during the semester.

Note: FIN, LEB, MIS, OM, and STA courses do not have availablilty for non-business students.

Do you want to add a course for the Business Minor? Students from all majors are welcome to enroll in Business Minor courses. You can register without assistance as long as you meet prerequisites.

Summer registration:

The business major requirement is removed from all courses during the summer.

Students must still meet prerequisite requirements with the exception of BA 101 and BA 324. The prerequisites for these courses will be waived for non-business students. All other prerequisites will be enforced.

If you are not on an exchange program with McCombs, your course options will be limited. You should follow these steps to enroll in business courses:

1. Identify courses you may be inerested in using the Business Minor course list and list of approved courses for non-business students.

2. Check for prerequisite requirements for the course(s) you’re interested in.

• If there are prerequisites: You’ll need to email a copy of your unofficial transcript to the BBA Registration Office. We do not have access to your previous records and need those to ensure that you meet prerequisite requirements. If you need to include additional information for your transcript, please do so. If you meet prerequisite requirements, we will provide a waiver for you to register.
• If there are no prerequisites: You should be able to add the course with no issues, as long as space is available.

3. Once you have the waiver (if applicable) you should be able to register for any course listed for the Business Minor or on the list of approved courses for non-business students.

• The only exception will be for courses that only come available on the 5th class day.
• To add one of these courses, you would need to attend drop-in advising on the 5th class day in order to be added. The course you’re trying to add must be listed as open.

Do you need a course that’s not listed for the Business Minor or on the approved list for non-business students? Please have your home institution email a list of courses that would meet your exchange requirements to the BBA Registration Office. 

While we will do our best to accommodate your registration needs, we cannot guarantee access to any specific course.

If you need to/are trying to add an undergraduate business course, you must get a letter from your graduate advisor, stating that the course requested is required for your program of study.

Email the letter to the BBA Registration Office

Students who provide the letter will be able to attend drop-in registration to be added to the course on the first class day if space is available. We will accommodate graduate students based on course availability up until the 5th class day.
